In addition, the use of phthalate plasticizers, which may possibly cause an endocrinal effect in humans and animals, is avoided.

Abstract: Holtmelt adhesive compositions based on a mixture of at least one reactive binder and at least one non-reactive binder are useful as one- or two-part adhesives and/or sealants particularly in the production of multiple glazing systems. The reactive binder may be a polyisobutylene, hydrogenated polybutadiene and/or poly-&agr;-olefin which has been functionalized with silane groups. The non-reactive binder may be a butyl rubber, poly-&agr;-olefin, polybutene, styrene block copolymer and/or a diene or homopolymer. The adhesive compositions act as both a spacer and as a matrix for the moisture-absorbing substances employed in multiple glazing applications, forming an elastic bond or seal at the edges of the glass layers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reactive batch of thermoplastic polymer particles on the basis of poly-&agr;-olefins, elastomeric block copolymers and/or polyisobutylenes. Said batch is useful for producing insulating glass units consisting of two or several glass panes, casting resin panes, solar collectors or facade elements for edifices. The reactive batch contains a portion of batch particles which contain polymers with reactive groups selected from hydroxyl groups, amino groups, carboxyl groups, carboxylic acid anhydride groups. mercapto groups, hydrosilicon groups and/or hydrosilyl groups. Another portion of the batch particles contains polymers with reactive groups that are complementary thereto and are selected from isocyanate groups, epoxide groups, active olefinically unsaturated double bonds and/or water-producing substances. Said batch of reactive particles is homogenised only directly before the last use and, immediately afterwards, is applied to the substrate surfaces to be connected.
